LYNN – A sweet and fun-loving young woman is how coworkers at Lucia Lighting and Design are remembering Cynthia Anne Ray of Bradford, who was killed Sunday by an alleged drunken driver in Andover.”She was a magnet for other people? just a special person,” Lucy Dearborn, co-owner of Lucia Lighting, said in between tears.News of 30-year-old Ray’s death quickly swept through the lighting store over the weekend, leaving Dearborn and her coworkers in shock. On Sunday afternoon, police say Ray stopped by the State Police barracks with her mother to get an accident report for her husband, Brian, who had gotten into a minor accident on I-495.As she walked back to her car, 50-year-old Robert V. Bryant of Haverhill slammed into her after he allegedly drove drunk over a traffic island and continued on.Unaware that her daughter had been hit and was laying on the grass, Ray’s mother ran into the barracks to report that their car had been hit. When troopers went outside, they found the injured Ray, who died later that night at Massachusetts General Hospital.Police say Bryant, a married father of four children, only stopped his truck a short distance away because he had lost a wheel during the accident. Bryant was arraigned Monday at Lawrence District Court, where he pleaded innocent to various charges including motor vehicle homicide while operating under the influence. Bail has been set at $50,000 and he is ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device if he posts bail.Still reeling from Ray’s death, Dearborn quietly wept as she remembered her, saying Ray was a great wife and her mother’s best friend.”We’re lucky to have known her and we’re trying to focus on her life right now and being happy that she was in our lives,” she said. “She gave everything 1,000 percent.”Ray graduated from Winchester High School in 1999 and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from Endicott College in 2003. She and her husband, Brian, a food service manager at Lahey Clinic North in Peabody, were married in 2006.That year, Ray also joined the Lucia Lighting team on Western Avenue, where she worked and excelled as a Lighting Specialist.”She was wildly talented and was with Lucia since the beginning,” Dearborn said. “Everyone who knew her called Sunday. Her family has been so great in including us in her circle because we’re all like family here.”Dearborn said Ray and her husband were planning on taking in their two young nieces from North Carolina for a year while both their parents were to be deployed to the Middle East after the first of the year.”That really offers a window into her soul,” she said. “She was so kind with her affection, always starting her day with saying I love you and giving a hug and ending her day with saying I love you and giving a hug. She was a rare person.”Donations can be made in Ray’s honor to Hospice of the North Shore, 75 Sylvan St., Danvers, MA 01923.
